ELVIS- "Tribute to the King"


ELVIS - "Tribute to the King"


In honor of the king - Elvis, who died on August 16, 1977, I wanted to post this small Journal Quilt that I made for the 2002 Journal Quilt Project. This quilt hung at the International Quilt Show in Houston, Texas in 2002.

I tried to use all the fabrics that Elvis would have loved: red crushed velvet, blue suede, white satin and leopard print.

I'll have to listen to my Elvis music next week.

Great Falls , Virginia























GREAT FALLS, VA.


This past week I got to go to Great Falls, Va. again and hike the trails. I have been there many times, but you can see how low the water level has dropped, because we haven't had much rain in northern Virginia this summer.

The photo with the high water, with me standing out on the rocks, was taken in March of 1971. At that time, you were still allowed to go by the edge of the rocks.

The current photo is from this past week and shows a much lower water level. I had a wonderful time this week, taking these photos and hiking the trails.

I hope to get back there again soon.
